In Christ Alone

Hasselt 27-08-2013
Weer een heerlijk middagje in Hasselt mogen spelen.
Ik heb dit lied gespeeld om dat een Canadees mij vroeg dit lied te spelen.
Hier verderop vind je de tekst ervan.
Registrant: Robert de Vries
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

11:08 p.m. So soothing to my soul & relaxing to my senses! ✨🙏🏼✨☮️✨🎵✨🎶✨

[@Goodchappy]

I prefer this so much better than when I hear it played with guitars and drums with people jigging up and down :-)

[@Goodchappy]

Your English is 100% better than my Dutch :-)

This made me cry

[@elliot_sander]

The modulation for the last verse brought me to tears!

[@cpnlsn88]

I'm so glad I found this video. So simple and so soothing to listen to. Thank you!

[@wnmbk]

What a beautiful hymn , well played!!

[@davidflint2559]

After listening to many many songs and hymns performed on organs around the world, I have concluded that the Rudolph Knol organ in Stephanuskerk Hasselt is THE finest sounding musical instrument I have ever heard.

[@janmc.mulder]

David Flint I fully agree!

[@nicotheyoungone]

David Flint you are right 😊

[@trk66trk]

BEAUTIFUL!!! Brings tears to my eyes, especially toward the end when the piece gets powerful. I wish I could have been there live listening to this piece.

[@ArnoldPetter]

I have listen to this great rendition many times and still love it

[@jamspoon59]

Played with such passion from the heart- thank you Leo for this. A glorious English hymn on surely one of the finest organs in the world. God bless you for blessing us.

[@markaustin4370]

Not an English hymn !!! American evangelical piece based on a Billy Joel pop tune

[@jamspoon59]

@@markaustin4370 Not American at all! The tune is by Stuart Townend (England), the lyrics are by Keith Getty (Northern Ireland). Credit where credit is due.

[@stevenmiddleton75]

Fantastic. One of my favourites to play on the pipe organ. Very weldone.

[@mama4ism]

This is so beautifully done. I didn't think this song would sound good played on the organ but you've such a great job, each verse builds up to the final verse. The last few lines, "Till he returns, or calls me home, here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand." I have shivers, it's so beautiful!! Thank you!!

What a beautiful song

[@CeesJandeHon]

Geen woorden voor Leo om te zeggen hoe mooi ik dit vind.. Een schitterend lied met dito melodie.. Bedankt!

[@louisglen1653]

I was in the church when Leo made the recording and it was a truly emotional moment to hear this being played live!

[@johnrupnow]

What church and location? Too bad they didn't include video of the pipes.

[@louisglen1653]

@@johnrupnow Grote of St. Stephanuskerk in Hasselt. This video shows more of the organ. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZemhadvp5iDi8U

Wat een prachtig lied! Kippenvel en tranen in mijn ogen!

[@elim9040]

Very nicely played, combining well the organ's colours as well as the characteristics of the modern song. Thank you for this!

[@DPOSTx3]

Searched back for this video since viewing it long ago, you are amazing...

[@storfrassin]

wow. beautiful

[@huttenanne]

Thank you!

[@randysmith9623]

The last verse was INCREDIBLE...

[@gcvanwerd1]

Wat is dit een prachtig stuk !!! Het maakt echt wat los in je en de wijze waarop het gespeeld is , is zeker zo mooi. Prachtig Leo !!!

[@MarkOfWA]

The added pipes at the end added the richness which sets pipe organs apart from most other instruments. If you have a good set of horn and trumpet pipes, it would be great to hear the tune played again just with those.

[@10723magn]

Leo, I truly love your playing. It is a blessing to my soul!

[@hansfaas7956]

geweldig Leo, ik ben trots op je!

[@johanverkuijl8782]

[@MrBilbo05]

this is sung here in Australia and we lifted it up at the funeral of both my parents. great to hear it transposed for the pipe organ. [if you ever look for 'new' material try Emu Music or Michael Morrow] thankyou

[@arturrodrigues1345]

Maravilhoso, sublime e muito tocante ao coração. Deus seja contigo Leo Ravensbergen!
